Circle Theater Tulsa Route 66 - Americana Wall Art, Tulsa Oklahoma Theater Photo, Neon Sign, Oklahoma Photo, Tulsa Theater Print, Wall Decor

It was Saturday night in downtown Tulsa, and the city was alive. My mission: to photograph the neon sign of the iconic Circle Theater on Route 66 like no one ever had before. The glowing green and white neon beckoned in the distance, but I knew this wouldn’t be easy. The streets were packed—cars honking, laughter echoing from nearby bars, and people bustling under the vibrant skyline. This wasn’t going to be a quick shot.

I tasted the hint of fajitas in the air from a nearby restaurant, mixed with the normal smells of the street. The sounds of a city on the move filled my ears—blaring car stereos, the murmur of conversations, the click of heels on the pavement. As I approached the theater, the warm smell of popcorn from a food stand drifted toward me, filling me with a sense of nostalgia.

I found my spot across the street, setting up my camera amidst the chaos of traffic and nightlife. The neon sign hummed softly, lighting up the theater’s façade like a beacon. I framed the shot, waiting for the perfect moment. But then, I felt it—a drop of rain.

My heart sank as I looked up at the gathering clouds. I couldn’t believe it. After all this planning, rain threatened to ruin everything. People began rushing for cover, the street clearing quickly. I hesitated for a moment, but my determination kicked in. I wasn’t leaving without this shot.

I kept the rain off the front of my lens, adjusted the settings, and waited. The rain started to pick up. Just as the first heavy drops began to fall, I captured it—the neon glowing against the darkening sky. The moment was perfect.

I packed up quickly, just as the downpour began. I had done it. I had captured the Circle Theater in a way it had never been seen before, preserving this piece of Americana. It was a dream come true.
